STAYINGIN?

THE HARTFORD COURANT

Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, David Cook, Billy Ray Cyrus, Corbin Bleu, Jose Feliciano and the cast of the musical "Mary Poppins" are among the performers in the 25th Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade (ABC, 10 a.m.) hosted by Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa in Florida and Ryan Seacrest from Disneyland.

Tonight, the country star sings the songs of the holiday one last time in "Faith Hill, Joy to the World: A Soundstage Special" (WGBY, Channel 57, 9 p.m.).

If disappointment is an inevitable side product of the holiday (and how could it not, given the buildup?) then the TV schedules reflect that with nothing new on the broadcast networks but a two-hour "Deal or No Deal" (NBC, 8 p.m.) and the big premium cable stations offering "Alvin and the Chipmunks" (HBO, 8 p.m.) and "Big Momma's House" (Cinemax, 8:15 p.m.).

A bright spot - this is about the first time I've seen "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" (More Max, 7:30 p.m.) on the schedule.

A relative break in the sports world allows time for "SportsCenter Year in Review" (ESPN, 8:30 p.m.). But more anticipated may be the ad collection "Best of This is SportsCenter" (ESPN, 10 p.m.).

Heroes abound tonight. On "Hallmark Heroes" (Hallmark, 8 p.m.), Regis Philbin celebrates the heroic actions of everyday people. In "Heroes at Home" (MyNetwork TV, 8 pm.), six soldiers share their experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan. And a cast member of "Heroes," Hayden Panettiere, is typecast as a cheerleader in "Bring It On: All or Nothing" (E!, 8 p.m.).
